workout for strong daddies and strong father-child relationships

What is DaddyFit?

DaddyFit is a workout consisting of 12 simple exercises that have been developed with the aid and experience of many daddies, a personal trainer, a midwife and a psychologist.

What’s special about it:Daddies exercise together with their kids. This not only strengthens daddies muscles, but also the sense of basic trust and the father-child relationship.

You won’t need any equipment for DaddyFit, thus it can be done together with this ‘weight’ that grows along with you – any time, any place.

And since it’s best for daddy to leave the baby belly to the baby, DaddyFit training is complete with some basic nutritional information.

Why daddies need muscles

After birth, your baby is as light as a feather and you can easily carry it around for hours without losing that nonchalant facial expression of yours. But, day after day, it will become heavier, your biceps will start twitching, and that nonchalant expression will be replaced by a stressed one. Not cool. You will need power to keep your cool now.

Sports and the associated muscle-building help to make you feel more balanced and happier. Maybe it will have the same eff ect on your wife, too ;)

A strong father-child relationship is a matter of training

A bond is an invisible tie connecting two people to one another. An important part of shaping this attachment behaviour takes place within the first two years of a child’s life.

DaddyFit helps to playfully establish this invisible tie by making daddies spend lots of time with their offspring. Science believes that babies and toddlers who can build on communion, closeness, security and the care of their parents right from the start develop a sense of basic trust for their future life, making them healthier, more caring, more stress-resistant, and happier.

But this valuable time spent together is not only good for the little ones. The physical and emotional closeness also strengthens daddy, because strong relationships between people are the basis for vitality and security.

And that’s a fact.

Safety First!

Even though it is a known fact that daddies never need instructions, we simply have to make an exception to the rule here. For example: some of the DaddyFit exercises should only be done when your baby is old enough and strong enough to support its body on
its own.

Nutrition

Daddy's food

DaddyFit is not a book about nutrition. But daddies who strive for more power in everyday situations, and
prefer to leave a soft baby belly to the babies, should follow some
basic rules regarding nutrition.

That’s why this short chapter offers hungry daddies who never dealt
with nutrition before some brief advice that might help you to be more
aware of what you eat.

Felix Schulz

Author

As of the date of this book’s publication, Felix is neither a daddy yet nor lacking time and/or sleep – still, he gathered the combined knowledge of befriended daddies in DaddyFit. The idea struck him when a friend told him that he didn’t have time to do sports anymore and therefore slowly gained weight ever since becoming a dad. A year later, Felix handed him this book.
